Product reviewed by The Hwahae Testers: HYCL / BHA DEEP PORE GEL CLEANER Usage period: May 31 - June 4, 2025 (5 days) What I loved: When it comes to first-step cleansers, my expectations are: - No skin tightness after washing - No blemishes or irritation - Decent cleansing power for sebum and impurities In short, I want "a gentle yet effective cleanser that doesn't dry out the skin or cause blemishes!" (To be honest, on days when I wear makeup or sunscreen, I do a second cleanse anyway, so I just need the gel cleanser to do its basic job.) As someone who's been using foam cleansers since elementary school and has tried various types - foam, milk, balm, oil, and scrub - from different brands (like Manyo Factory, Whipped, Senka, C2Y, ATOMY, Happy Bath, etc.), I can say that the HYCL gel cleanser hits all the right notes. First, it didn't cause any irritation or blemishes. Second, it left my skin feeling clean without any tightness. (Though it didn't leave my skin feeling as soft and refined as Manyo Factory's cleanser. It just felt clean and smooth.) Lastly, its cleansing power was perfectly adequate for a first-step cleanser. I wasn't expecting it to dissolve blackheads or completely remove sebum, but it left my skin feeling thoroughly cleansed. In short, it's a well-rounded product! Room for improvement: This isn't really a negative, but it's worth noting: While the base scent is close to unscented, when you're massaging it on your face, you might notice a slight chemical smell. This is probably because it's so close to your nose. Just keep in mind that it's not a pleasant soapy scent. Tip: This was my first time using a gel cleanser. When I gently massaged it with my hands, it didn't lather up as much as a foam cleanser, but it did create some foam. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinJun 3, 2025
The excellent cleansing effectiveness and the moisturizing feeling after washing were great. It lathered well, and although not as much as a foam cleanser, it felt less irritating to the skin! The product had an off-putting artificial scent. When comparing it to other brands' cleansing foams in terms of price, it was disappointing that this product lacked any unique merits that would make it worth using over others. It's a decent cleansing product, so I'd like to recommend it to those with all skin types except for super sensitive skin! - Hwahae UserCombination SkinSensitive SkinJun 2, 2025
◆ Skin Type I have sensitive skin that breaks out or turns red immediately if I apply thick layers of skincare. My T-zone is slightly oily while the rest is dry. My husband has acne-prone skin with excess sebum and rough texture. ◆ Texture It has a slightly runny gel-like consistency. The transparent rosy tint is absolutely gorgeous! ◆ Scent It's fragrance-free, but There's a brief detergent-like smell when washing. ◆ Usage Period I used it almost daily for about 10 days, My husband with acne-prone skin also used it. ◆ Experience When I used it, I felt it cleansed thoroughly and seemed to smooth out some skin texture. After cleansing, it leaves more of a squeaky clean feeling than a hydrated one! It might suit oily skin types better, while other skin types may find it more suitable for summer use. It definitely shows results on my husband's acne-prone skin. He has a job that makes him sweat a lot, which often wreaks havoc on his skin. His blemishes have noticeably decreased, and he's experiencing fewer breakouts! His skin also looks smoother. To see this level of improvement in just ten days makes it totally worth buying. The only slight downside was the faint detergent-like smell during cleansing. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinJun 2, 2025
As a member of The Hwahae Testers, I'm giving you my honest review. I'll definitely be buying this for regular use later. The amount you get for the price is quite generous, which is fantastic. It's the top value-for-money, high-efficiency foam cleanser for blemishes. If you're struggling with blemishes, you need to get this right away. I've tried many foam cleansers, but this product has been the most consistent in clearing up my blemishes. Blemish-reducing effects: After using it diligently morning and night for about 10 days, I noticed a significant improvement in my blemishes. The raised, inflamed blemishes went down, and even the red marks left behind improved noticeably. It's amazing how a cleanser alone can do this! Of course, there's still a slight redness, but comparing before and after, I can definitely feel the improvement myself. I plan to keep using it as I believe it will eventually clear up completely with consistent use. It's the best! Cleansing effectiveness: It cleanses thoroughly and lathers well, which is great! However, I prefer a squeaky-clean finish, and this leaves a slightly slippery feeling at the end, making me rinse more thoroughly. But the moisturizing finish is definitely a plus, so keep this in mind when considering a purchase. Post-cleansing: It definitely leaves your skin feeling moisturized with no tightness! Of course, if you leave your skin bare for too long, it will dry out, but compared to other foam cleansers that make your face feel tight within a minute after washing, this one definitely leaves your skin feeling more comfortable. While it's close to being fragrance-free, there is a slight artificial scent. Also, I wouldn't recommend this to those who absolutely hate a slippery finish. But if you want to tackle blemishes? You should use this product even if it feels a bit slippery. The lather is more smooth than fluffy, so it's great for a facial massage. If you dislike the slippery finish, try rinsing with cold water at the end - it helps a bit. Keep these tips in mind! - Hwahae UserDry SkinAtopy SkinSensitive SkinJun 1, 2025
As soon as I opened it, I was struck by its beautiful grapefruit syrup-like color. With my very dry skin type, I usually avoid cleansers that leave my skin feeling too squeaky clean. I don't want to strip away all the moisture! This gel-type cleanser left my skin feeling somewhat hydrated even after washing. I saw some reviews mentioning a slippery after-feel, but personally, I wouldn't go that far. There's just a tiny bit of that squeaky clean sensation, but it definitely doesn't feel slippery or like it's not cleansing properly. There was a lot of talk about the foam too. With the right amount of water and some rubbing, it actually lathers up quite well! It's not an ultra-rich, pillowy foam, but more of a light, airy lather. After cleansing, my skin doesn't feel overly dry, and the cleansing effectiveness doesn't seem compromised. Above all, the color makes it look so pretty in the bathroom! I'll need to use it longer to be sure, but so far, I haven't experienced any blemishes. I'm looking forward to seeing if the BHA ingredient will be beneficial! I'm not a fan of the scent. It has an artificial smell, almost like laundry detergent. But as someone who dislikes artificially fragranced products, I suppose this is a bit of a dilemma. I was concerned about the red coloring in the ingredients list. I guess it might be necessary for targeting acne, but it still worries me a bit. The reviewer appreciates the product's appearance and gentle cleansing properties, which work well for their dry skin. They find the lather satisfactory and haven't experienced any skin irritation. However, they dislike the scent and are slightly concerned about some ingredients. Overall, they seem cautiously optimistic about the product's potential benefits, particularly for acne-prone skin. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinMay 27, 2025
하이클의 바하 딥 포어 젤 클린저는는 젤타입의 클린저라서 피부에 전혀 자극이 없어서 민감한 피부에 더 좋을거 같아요. 폼을 만들면 거품이 많이 나지 았았지만 끈적하고 미끌거려서 세안이 말끔하게 되었어요. 세안을 한 후에 전화 통화를 할 일이 있어서 오래시간 로션을 바르지 않았는데, 피부에 수분 막을 만들어 주었는지 피부가 아주 서히 마르더라구요. 제품설명을 보니깐 고함량 BHA 5,000ppm이 포함 되어 있어 피지가 컨트롤되면서 피부에 트러블이 덜 생기는 듯 합니다. 투명한 패키징과 컬러는 이뻣습니다. 욕실에 놓으니까 젤 클린저의 컬러감 때문에 시선 강탈이네요 ^^ 먼저 젤 클린저의 향이 제 취향이 아니었습니다. 너무 화학 원료의 냄새가 강한편이라서 냄새 때문에 살싹 어지럽기도 하더라구요. 세안 브러쉬를 이용해서 BHA 5,000ppm성분이 들어간 젤 타입의 거품을 내어보니 손으로 거품을 낼 대 보다 훨씬 유용하게 사용할 수 있었습니다. - Hwahae UserCombination SkinAcne SkinSensitive SkinMay 22, 2025
- Usage period: I've been using this for about 2 weeks. - Texture: It mixes well with water, creating a nice lather. After cleansing, I felt like there was a significant reduction in dead skin cells. - Results: With the decrease in dead skin cells, my skin became noticeably smoother. At first, I noticed a slightly chemical scent, but as I continued using it, I got used to the fragrance. - Hwahae UserDehydrated SkinAcne SkinMay 22, 2025
As someone with combination dehydrated skin prone to blemishes, I've been struggling with my skin lately without knowing why. But this product has been a real help! I've always loved gel cleansers for my morning routine, but my previous one left an oily residue, so I was on the hunt for a replacement. I was intrigued by the amber color of this product, though it comes out clear. For a gel cleanser, it lathers up surprisingly well - even better than some foam cleansers! It doesn't leave my skin feeling overly stripped, and I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't dry me out like some BHA cleansers can. After use, my skin feels smooth and slightly moisturized, ready for the next steps in my skincare routine. I love this aspect just as much as how well it lathers! Thanks to the BHA, my blemishes have significantly reduced! I started using it just in the mornings, but now I use it twice daily. I even apply it to my neck and back, and the occasional breakouts I used to get on my neck from hair products have calmed down! While it's not a miracle worker, I can definitely feel it keeping my skin in check. The scent is quite strong. Other reviews mentioned it was fragrance-free, so I was surprised when I lathered it up and was hit with an artificial rubber smell. It's not unbearable, and I can tolerate it, but I have to hold my breath a bit when applying the foam to my face. I really wish it was completely unscented. Word of caution: don't use this with a BHA toner! I accidentally used them together and got a bit of a shock. I'm using them separately now. Thankfully, neither product is too harsh, so it wasn't a major issue. After cleansing, I follow up with a hyaluronic acid serum and cream. This combo leaves my skin hydrated and smooth without any dryness. - Hwahae UserDry SkinSensitive SkinMay 22, 2025
Here's my review as someone with slightly sensitive and dry skin! This was my first time trying this brand, so I approached it cautiously. While I can be lazy about some things, I take skincare seriously. I'm always on the lookout for great products I can use daily and stick with consistently. Given my skin type, I've found that using gentle products regularly works better than harsh ones promising instant results. They're less irritating to my skin in the long run. While exfoliating products might be more effective for pore and sebum control, I try to minimize irritation. I focus on thorough cleansing instead, which is why this product caught my eye - it helps manage sebum! The BHA (beta hydroxy acid) in this cleanser is salicylic acid, known for its benefits in acne and pore care. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, tightens pores, and regulates excess sebum. This product combines BHA with tea tree oil, making it great for soothing blemishes, calming troubled skin, removing dead skin cells and excess oil, managing blackheads, and caring for pores. When I used it, I loved how it created a soft lather and didn't irritate my skin at all. After rinsing, my skin felt slightly slippery, but don't worry - it's clean! It left my skin feeling moisturized and minimally irritated post-cleanse. While it's quite effective at removing sebum and dead skin cells, it's even better when used as a second cleanser. This allows the pore-caring ingredients to work directly on your skin. It's a gentle, hydrating foam cleanser that also takes care of your pores - perfect for daily, consistent use! The scent is a bit like surfactants... reminiscent of stain removers used at home. It's not overpowering, so it's okay, but it was a bit disappointing. If you prefer that squeaky clean feeling after washing, this might not be for you! The ingredients are particularly beneficial for oily skin, so it could be great for combination dehydrated skin types. As a gentle and hydrating cleansing foam, it's also suitable for daily care of sensitive and dry skin like mine. - Hwahae UserDry SkinMay 20, 2025
I'm using Hwahae for the first time, and it really suits my skin well... After using it a few times, I could feel my skin texture becoming smooth and soft right away. It seems to effectively remove dead skin cells even just with cleansing. I usually use a strong cleansing foam, so I do feel this is a bit milder, but the refreshing sensation is still quite good. Although it's a gel type, it still lathers up nicely, and I didn't expect it to be extremely powerful from the start, so I'm personally very satisfied with it. My face also didn't feel as dry after using it. I tend to get some blemishes around my period, but my skin condition has been better than usual since it's been more balanced. At first, I tried using it as a second cleanse after oil cleansing, but the experience was so good that I've been using it on bare skin in the morning or on days I don't wear makeup in the evening. The improvement in my skin texture is quite noticeable with consistent use. The coverage is not bad, but the scent is a bit strong for my liking. For those whose skin agrees with the Hwahae ingredients, I would definitely recommend it, especially for people who struggle with frequent exfoliation. the fragrance is a bit artificial and rather strong, but other than that, i'm completely satisfied with it
